SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition
for CSA Group Testing & Certification
Inc. (CSA), as a NRTL. CSA’s expansion
covers the addition of one test standard
to the NRTL scope of recognition.
OSHA’s recognition of a NRTL
signifies that the organization meets the
requirements specified in 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within the scope of recognition.
Each NRTL’s scope of recognition
includes: (1) the type of products the
NRTL may test, with each type specified
by the applicable test standard; and (2)
the recognized site(s) that has/have the
technical capability to perform the
product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards
within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is
not a delegation or grant of government
authority; however, recognition enables
employers to use products approved by
the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require product testing and certification.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition and for an
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides a preliminary
finding. In the second notice, the agency
provides a final decision on the
application. These notices set forth the
E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM
23JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 14 / Thursday, January 23, 2025 / Notices
NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational web page for
each NRTL, including CSA, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
CSA submitted an application to
OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope
of recognition on May 30, 2024 (OSHA–
2006–0042–0045), requesting the
addition of one standard to the NRTL
scope of recognition. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information. OSHA did not
perform an on-site review in response to
this application. OSHA staff has
preliminarily determined that OSHA
should grant the application for test
standard expansion.
OSHA published a Federal Register
notice announcing CSA’s application,
preliminarily determining that OSHA
should grant the application and
soliciting public comment on December
31, 2024 (89 FR 107167). The agency
requested comments by January 15,
2025, however no comments were
received in response to this notice.
OSHA is now proceeding with this
expansion of CSA’s NRTL scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the CSA
expansion application, go to
www.regulations/gov or contact the
Docket Office at (202) 693–2350 (TTY
(877) 889–5627. Docket No. OSHA–
8053
2006–0042 contains all materials in the
record containing CSA’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined CSA’s
expansion application and examined
other pertinent information. Based on
review of this evidence, OSHA finds
that CSA meets the requirements of 29
CFR 1910.7 for expansion of
recognition, subject to the specified
limitations and conditions. OSHA,
therefore, is proceeding with this final
notice to grant expansion of CSA’s
scope of recognition. OSHA limits the
expansion of CSA’s recognition to
testing and certification of products for
demonstration of compliance to the test
standard listed below in Table 1.

Test standard
UL 60335–2–40 .....
Test standard title
Household and Similar Electrical Appliances—Safety—Part 2–40: Particular Requirements for Electrical Heat Pumps, AirConditioners and Dehumidifiers.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, CSA
also must abide by the following
conditions of the recognition:
1. CSA must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in its
operations as a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. CSA must meet all the terms of its
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. CSA must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
CSA’s scope of recognition, in all areas
for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR
1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope
of recognition of CSA as a NRTL, subject
to the limitations and conditions
specified above.
